Overview of Positioning Solutions

Applicata Positioning Solutions provide the best combination of positioning accuracy, costs, network dependency and time to market. It covers scenarios for both commercial location based services and lawfull enforcement.

Positioning Middleware is a set of network-centric solutions for standard, enhanced accuracy and mass positioning It comprises:

  • Cell Global ID Positioning Function (CGP)
    • Does not require SMLC in the access network
    • Is used with Applicata Standard Accuracy Solution delivering cell id and antenna sector as a location estimation
    • Does not require additional features in the network and can be easily integrated in any GSM, UMTS and LTE network
    • Supports home subscribers, outbound- and inbound roamers
  • Generic Network Positioning Function (GNP)
    • Follows 3GPP specificatons
    • Requires SMLC nodes in the access network and specific features and interfaces in the network
    • Is used with Applicata Enhanced Accuracy Solution
  • Mass Positioning Function
    • Retrieves and stores information about the subscribers’ presence and/or activity in an area
    • Supports triggers on selected location related events, e.g., subscribers entering/leaving the area (Geofencing)

Standart Accuracy Positioning Solution

Using Enhanced GMLC node deployed in core networks and no SMLC nodes in the access network it delivers position estimates with standard accuracy based on cell id and antenna sector.
